Onward, ever onward.

Today has been busy, just as every other day this week...month...year. But it's a good kind of busy. Well, until calculus comes into the picture! It never ceases to amaze me how random things go through my head. Like... I'll have trains of thoughts that make zero sense whatsoever to anyone but myself. And other times, random thoughts come into my head. My brain is weird, I think.

Today I was sitting in the library doing math homework, trying to understand how letters and numbers are all the same, and how math is real (I think it's all made up...who needs it, anyway?! math people, don't answer that!), and taking like 10 years on each of my homework problems (which I still haven't finished...). I have a paper for D&C due on Monday, and I've been trying to come up with ideas for it, and I've been coming up blank for a week and a half now. It's frustrating. Anyway, as I was sitting there doing math, the answer popped into my head, and I dumped my math stuff in my bag and ran to the No Shh Zone, got a computer, and started the word vomit. And I think it's a good idea...I just don't know how to write in this style, as I've never done it before. So I think I'm going to just write a really rough draft before the weekend, and then edit all weekend long. Okay, so probably just Saturday at work, and then again Monday morning. But I'm excited, because this could turn out to be a really great paper if I can get it to sound the way it does in my head!

In geology today, we talked about glaciers and Alaska and glaciers and Alaska and...yeah, I'm wicked excited to go there in 2 months! I've found a ton to do in Anchorage, and I'm solidifying hotel plans for that, and next I'll move on to Denali, at least as far as hotels go. I need to book those ASAP cuz a lot are already sold out. Fortunately, I'm going as cheap as possible, so the cheap, crappy ones still have vacancy! :)

Well, I'm off. I've got a ton of homework to do, a real journal to write in, and plans to go watch the Office with Alex and his roommates and their friends!

    Your brain is NOT weird... mine does that, too. So maybe it's just inherited!

    And I'm wicked excited for Alaska, too! Need to start thinking about what to pack, and what to bring to do on the train, and where to get more memory cards, cheap... and buy the camcorder battery charger, and...and...and...YAY!!!!

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....
